Self Reminder

My new year resolution was to approach the things I do (and I mean, everything), with more drive. I realized to day that I've started forgetting it. Onward!

What made me realize it was piano lesson. I felt so utterly sian practising the entire morning and afternoon. And when I was playing terrible during lesson, I saw that I couldn't expect anything else, because I was just blah-ing my way through the entire day in a most lethargic fashion. I have four days to the recital... a real short time to get my act together. Guess I'll be waking up early tomorrow.

Hopefully, I'd be able to fit in an hour of practice in peace before I'm off for teaching...

While running, I kept thinking and thinking about how I have not been bothering to practise properly of late... and I felt quite disappointed in myself, since not bothering is like wasting money on lessons.

Running was pretty good I guess... I haven't ran since Wednesday, but I managed to clock about 12-13km today. One of the things I love best is to listen to music while running... I listened through-
1. The piano recording which I personally consider to be the most inspiring (the identity of this piece is a secret)
2. Dvorak's Symphony No. 7
3. Half of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9
4. My own recording of Gustav Holst's Mars (haha, it just came on when my player was in random mode)... I kind of miss playing with Linli.

My legs feel like jelly now, but I'm really satisfied with myself.

And I promised myself that I'd make 2009 a good year. Much to look into and work upon.
